Prerequisites
Take the following ESD prevention measures:
•
Wear antistatic clothing.
•
Wear an ESD wrist strap and make sure it makes good skin contact and is reliably grounded.
•
Do not wear any conductive objects, such as jewelry or watches.
•
Before replacing the DIMM, remove the blade server.
•
When you replace a component, examine the slot and connector for damages. Make sure the
pins are not damaged (bent for example) and do not contain any foreign objects.
•
You might also remove other components. For the removed components to be reinstalled
correctly, record their positions and connections before removal, for example, taking pictures of
cable connection and drive installation positions, or labeling cables.
•
For the specific installation guidelines of the DIMM, see "

Installing a DIMM
1.
Install the DIMM
NOTE:
The DIMM slot is fool-proof. If you encounter any resistance when inserting the DIMM, re-orient
the DIMM and try again.
a.
(Optional) If the DIMM is installed for the first time, open the fixing clamps on both sides of
the DIMM slot.
b.
Install the DIMM. Align the notch at the bottom of the DIMM with that on the slot, and then
insert the DIMM vertically along the slot by exerting uniform force. Now, the fixing clamp will
be automatically locked. Make sure that the fixing clamp has locked the DIMM and is
engaged tightly.
2.
Install the air baffle.
